[Bioperl-l] FileCache.pm error

[Marcelino Suzuki]

	I am trying to run a script for getting CDS out of Genbank by Jason  
Stajich below that I saved as test2.pl, and get the following error  
message, that I believe is caused by my bioperl configuration (I just  
installed bioperl in MacOS X:

	------------- EXCEPTION  -------------
MSG: Could not open primary index file
STACK Bio::DB::FileCache::_open_database  
/Library/Perl/5.8.1/Bio/DB/FileCache.pm:321
STACK Bio::DB::FileCache::new  
/Library/Perl/5.8.1/Bio/DB/FileCache.pm:127
STACK toplevel test2.pl:14

	Does anyone have any idea why I get this error?

	Thanks

	Marcelino
